It'd be hard to make money renting out a CX bike. There are a lot of mechanicals and rookies crash a lot. I've seen a few rear derailleurs ripped off every weekend so far.

Best to buy a cheap second hand one. You can always sell it for close to what you bought it for. And if you like it, you can use it as a pit bike.

Might be easier to rent/borrow a mountain bike and use that for the race.
